Jia Huan's rebirth and revenge

It's just that even if the money was in Jia Huan's hands, he couldn't take it out for a while, otherwise how could he explain where the money came from? The busy life started again early the next morning.

With the good harvest of that day, each family is naturally very positive about the wind chimes, and even figured out a lot of ways to do it, or use fish bones as decorations, or use starfish, etc. Jia Huan also felt a little dazzled, and couldn't help shouting at the creative ability of these people.

And the price of this kind of thing is naturally different from that of the original wind chimes put together by a few conch shells. It may be 150 Wen, or [-] Wen. Everyone has saved one or two taels of silver, especially those who can make bone carvings, and through Jia Huan's promotion, they have sold a lot of bone carving products. It was sold directly for five taels of silver, which attracted the envy of everyone in the village.

Looking at his uncle's smiling face, only Jia Huan knew that this business was really a loss. If such things were placed directly in good shops and sold to high-ranking officials, maybe three to fifty taels of silver would be available. It's a pity that this is not a prosperous place after all, and the people who sell things are also grassroots people who can be bullied by everyone, so the price is still a good price given by them kindly.

You say it's impossible?Take a look at the stalls near the county seat recently. Half a month is enough for discerning people in other nearby places to see the benefits of this conch. Many people have already started to participate. There is not only one fishing village on this beach, there are not a few people who are handy, and there are too many people selling it. Naturally, the price will not go up. If it weren't for their village to be the first person to eat crabs, I'm afraid they would still You can't get such benefits.

The only good thing may be that the vendors nearby have also seen the market for this thing. Many vendors have already started to collect conch in various fishing villages. Although the price is a bit cheaper, it is only fifty cents a bunch, and a conch is only five cents. Money, but after all, this is a cost-free thing, and it saves the round trip, but it can barely pass, and these hawkers are naturally transported to cities farther from the sea to make money. The market is big, but it has found a way out for all the surrounding fishing villages.

It is precisely because of this that although Jia Huan felt a little regretful that he could not sell this item at a high price, he was relieved to not have to worry about the saturation of the market in this county, and although other companies also murmured that the price was a bit low , but even if you can't sell it at a high price, you can be satisfied.

The most important thing is that these fishermen have been very happy with the income of one or two taels of silver in the past half month. These days, one or two taels of silver is still very purchasing power. It may sound quite high, but you have to know that at this time, a catty of taels is 16 taels per catty, and a tael of silver is worth a thousand Wen, that is, it can buy a hundred catties of grain, which is one stone.An ordinary family of three can eat for three months, and it may not be enough to eat and play. If there are four or five people, they can also eat enough for three months.

From this point of view, one or two taels of silver is simply half a year's ration money for fishermen like them. How can they not be satisfied if they don't have to worry about food for half a year, not to mention that although the price is low, these conch shells are still coming one after another It is for sale, so that some income can still be used to supplement the household.

Maybe some people will say, didn’t Grandma Liu say that 20 taels of silver a year is enough for ordinary people, that is to say, one or two taels of silver will be spent this month, how come here it has become half a year’s food , then we have to calculate the content of the so-called expenses, food, clothing, housing and transportation, in addition to food, there are also salt, oil, vegetables, cloth, and even house repairs, etc. This is all the expenses of ordinary people, and this What about the fishing village?They don’t have to worry about eating salt. They just cook sea salt at home. Even if the country wants to seize some illegal salt and the like, it’s impossible to catch the small portion of these seaside fishermen’s own food. Those officials don’t like it. No, but what they don't like is that they saved a lot of money in this fisherman's house. Maybe a catty of salt is only ten yuan, and it doesn't look very eye-catching, but when it comes to poor people, it's very expensive. A few pennies is a lot of money, and it is astronomical over the years.

Not to mention the clothing materials, the amount of money the family can spend on making a whole set of clothes in a year is not a small amount. A piece of ordinary linen costs about two hundred cash, which is still the most inferior thing that has not been dyed. , or better?What about muslin and the like?Those few went up even more.As for the repair of the house, considering that Jia Huan's family was going to spend ten taels of silver to rebuild the house, they knew that it would be impossible to repair the house without one or two taels of silver.Calculated in this way, a relatively well-off family needs 20 taels a year to live.

But now these fishermen who are on the poverty line think the simplest way. Their most real pursuit now is to have enough food, so they are so happy when they see this one or two taels of silver.Especially when winter has begun and going to sea is gradually impossible, it is really gratifying to have such an income.Of course, the weather at the seaside is also very bitter, and the cold wind blows on people, but with money to earn, everyone is so angry that they can't care about anything.

Jia Huan couldn't care about these things at the moment, because he was trembling in the sea while touching scallops.

"Second son, what are you doing in the sea in such a cold day? Although this food is delicious, it can't be exchanged for a few dollars. It's not as good as conch."

As the eldest brother, his younger brother insisted on fishing for seafood, so he could only accompany him, for fear that the sea water would be too cold this day.My younger brother had leg cramps in the sea and something happened, and he even helped Jia Huan get down and picked up some when he came up to rest.

"Brother, brother, I, I heard that the officials in Furuiju, the county seat, like to eat seafood. I want to make a dish of this scallop, sell it, sell it to him, say, no, let's go Zineng, exchange, exchange for a few taels of silver, it is faster than conch, ah..."

Jia Huan sat on the boat borrowed by Brother Xing from his uncle's house, watching his elder brother tidying up the scallops he picked up, he couldn't help but finally spit out his plan, but it was too cold, and people couldn't bear it. She was trembling a little, and her speech was trembling, and it sounded like she was stuttering.

But Brother Xing heard Jia Huan's words, looked up at him in surprise, and said:

"What? You, you still understand this? How is it possible, you never cook at home in the past."

It’s true that Jia Huan doesn’t know how to cook, even if he burns the fire, he belongs to the second son in his memory, but who made him watch more? He was not lucky enough to eat many dishes, but as a bastard who often went to the big kitchen to eat secretly to fill his stomach, he could often see the process of those chefs cooking. He knew the truth of the so-called gentleman staying away from the kitchen, but he No one restrains her, maybe even Mrs. Wang won't care if she finds out, she is still happy that this bastard is not studying and going evil ways.

So even though he really didn't do it, he actually knows a lot. Right now, he just wants to use this to exchange money, and wants to make the family's wealth stronger as soon as possible.

"I, I've heard those scholars talk about the food's description and taste, and I saw some of the process when my mother made it. I want to go back and try it. If it's delicious, I'll sell the recipe."

This made Xing Geer interested. People who are not on the seaside actually do not know how to cook seafood. This is for sure. It is like what kind of farm food is liked in many places. What is so special about this farm food?To put it bluntly, it’s just cooking the same dish for a long time, practice makes perfect, and it’s just the most meticulous control. Brother Xing also feels that his mother’s cooking is really good, although I don’t know if it can really be sold for money, but It's always good to have a try, what if it really works, think about the wind chime, isn't it because they think there is nothing good about it, but they are sold so hot?

Thinking of the wind chimes, Brother Xing couldn't help but look at Jia Huan again. He always felt that his younger brother seemed to be out of his wits now. He dared to think and do anything, which was very different from the past. But now the family is really difficult. It is too late for Xing Geerle to have such a helper. How can he think so much? He just thinks that his younger brother has become his good helper now, and the family business is hopeful. After a year, there is hope for buying a ship.

"That's right. You have to try if you can't make it. It's just that it's not easy to fish this winter. It will be fine in spring."

"Try the water first. If it is really sold, we will go fishing in the village in the spring. We may earn more than selling fish. There are fishing villages hundreds of miles away, and there is a river to the west. Fish cannot be sold. What a big price."

When he said that, Brother Xing also nodded with a bitter face, but no, the neighborhood is near the sea, and there is never a shortage of fish to eat, so naturally it can't be sold at a high price. Who doesn't know that.Thinking about it is also distressing. Next year, I will buy a boat and go to sea again. How much money can I save?Might as well try like this.

Thinking of this, Brother Xing sighed, patted Jia Huan on the shoulder, took off his clothes, and plunged into the water again.
